If you listened to Oleg Zhurakousky's talk at Spring One Platform 2019 about Spring Cloud Stream & Functions or read his recent blog posts about Simplified Spring Cloud Stream and Functional Spring Cloud Stream, you may want to say: "Wait! What happened with Spring Integration support? What do I now do with my @ServiceActivator or IntegrationFlow? I used to deal with the Sink.input() as a channel to consume binder destination with some Spring Integration logic!"

Hi, Spring fans! What a week! I've just returned from Prague, the Czech Republic, where I was for the epic Geecon Prague 2019 event. (Thanks for voting my talk on Reactive Spring the #1 talk, Prague!). Now I'm in Nantes, France, the DevFest Nantes show. I'd never been to Prague and I've never been to Nantes. So how's that for cool first-time appearances in one week? I'll be speaking about testing here. Tonight I fly to Paris, Fr, for customer meetings. Then I fly on Thursday to St. Petersburg, Russia, for the Joker conference, where I'll be presenting on testing and I'll be co-presenting with…
